Paving

Paving is the solution to any maintenance problems in high traffic areas.

Complexes and office parks, and most homes often have well kept gardens as a compliment to the final look of the premises. Unfortunately high traffic volumes will damage alot of the ground cover and grass, creating ditches and holes and also detracting from the final look of a property.

Grass that is constantly squashed unde pressure of foot or vehicle traffic will evenyually die and leave patches of dirt visible.

Paving is the Solution

Paving has come a long way from the big cement slab that was cast and left as is. Modern paving and modern paving methods allow for quick installation and almost instant use.

Paving Repair

The elements have a great impact on the longevity of any type of item that is used or left outside, this includes your paving.

Excessive rain can cause paving to sink with the ground as it washes away.

Chipped or Damaged Paving

Heavy vehicles and equipment can force paving stones out of position and equipment carelessly left or dropped onto the paving will also cause damage, leaving cracks in the paving.

Stained Paving

Vehicles leaking oil, general used and scuffing from tires can cause unsightly staining. If the paving is not cleaned or swept regularly, general debris will also build up leaving you with the option to have the paved area cleaned or the stained areas replaced.

Whatever has caused the damaged, cracked or stained paving, it can be cleaned or replaced, leaving the area looking almost new.
